Leaseweb CDN

Leaseweb CDN is the content delivery offering of Leaseweb, the Amsterdam-based infrastructure provider founded in 1997. It works as a multi-CDN service. Instead of running a single network, it sends traffic across several top-tier CDN providers and switches automatically between them based on latency. Customers manage this from one dashboard with real-time monitoring. There are two tiers. Multi-CDN Volume is built for cost-efficient bulk delivery, and Multi-CDN Premium uses switching logic tuned for higher performance and user experience. Both tiers include customizable origin shields, run on Leaseweb Shield Nodes in Amsterdam and Washington, D.C., to protect origin servers from traffic overload. Third-party listings also mention shared SSL, HTTP/2, cache rules, purging by API or dashboard, and real-time analytics. Pricing is a monthly bandwidth commitment in euros. Third-party listings show Premium at about 8.50 euros per TB at 50 to 100 TB, and Volume at about 6.40 to 6.60 euros per TB, with lower rates at petabyte scale. They also cite a minimum commitment of 150 euros per month on an annual contract. The service suits companies that already rent Leaseweb dedicated servers or cloud and want CDN under the same contract, as well as media and software distributors moving large volumes. The main limitation is cost and opacity for smaller users: there is no free tier or trial, contracts auto-renew, and pricing is hard to find on the vendor site. Self-service CDNs are a better fit for small sites.
